What is the Australian quota on wild catch? I have been emailing back and forth with a farm out of Indonesia that is offering better prices for 'equivalent' quality, and he is saying this is because the quote is only 15,000 oysters. This does not seem logical to me, however. How can Paspaley do the sort of business they do with a 15,000 quota? They just held an auction and sold more pearls than 15,000 oysters could produce in a dozen harvests!
